This is why the Texans won't go to the SB. Can't win the big games. They had 2 big tests this season, GB and NE and they wet the bed both times. And Schaub comes up small whenever he plays an elite qb.

In the playoffs vs Roethlisberger, Peyton, Brady, I just don't see Schaub being the guy who goes to the SB.

It's a qb league. I don't see him beating any combination of those 3 guys with all the marbles on the line.

Didn't the Texans beat the Broncos and the Bears? I don't think the Bears have recovered since that loss. They also beat the **** out of the Ravens.

I think the Bears are frauds too. And the Broncos were early in the season when they were still gelling. The current Broncos are much different than the team they played early in the season.

Meh, I don't really buy that excuse. The Broncos team is on a hot streak right now, but regardless they weren't pushovers and Manning is on the other side. And they killed the Ravens. Plus the Bears were 7-1 I think when they clashed. They were on a hot streak too and that game was the start of that slump. Losing to Rodgers and potentially Brady led teams isn't the end of the world. I wouldn't automatically dismiss a 11-1 team because of that personally.

I just don't see this team as a Super Bowl team. You need a quarterback to go to the Super Bowl. They have a decent one, but Schaub is what he is. He's gonna have to go through some big time qbs in the playoffs if he wants to go to the Super Bowl, and let's not forget he's never played in the playoffs before either.

I'm not saying they're a bad team, but I just don't see SB in them. Their defense has been trending downwards the past 3 to 4 weeks as well.

Well, regarding this game he's not getting a chance to throw too much. The Patriots are dominating the LOS. I think he's good enough for the team to at least get to the Super Bowl. Just like Flacco was last season with the Ravens.

Hes down 21-0, what do you mean he isnt getting the chance to throw? He is, hes just doing a poor job of throwing under pressure.

I guess it depends on matchups. Flacco had to go through the Texans last year (in a game he struggled in) and then the Patriots (Brady) and lost to them.

It's conceivable that if Schaub just has to go through 1 elite qb to go to the SB then maybe it's possible. But I don't see him going through 2 elite QBs on his way to the SB. Say he has to go through Ben then Brady/Peyton, I just don't see him beating 2 elite guys to get there.
